Insurance can be a major item in your family's budget. If you are like many consumers, you might be confused by what you are buying. This is often true in buying life insurance and annuities, because there are so many choices available.

This material has been developed by your Massachusetts Division of Insurance to help you make good choices about life insurance and annuities. This guide addresses questions such as: what kinds of insurance and annuities are available; the common pitfalls you need to be careful about; and, how to choose among different policies or companies.
